[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:00 here--- and despite what the books say, teaching your child to fall asleep on his or her own is NOT a golden ticket to a good night's sleep.  My child was great at going to sleep... but he still woke up every 2-3 hours until I weaned him at 13 months. [/quote]

This. DS has no problems falling asleep on his own. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to be up ever 3 hours. I think I will have to wean before we get rid of that.

Yup, me too. We also "ferberized" and DS falls asleep on his own every night but still wakes up twice to nurse.  He also goes to sleep on his own after nursing both times. "Night weaning" doesn't seem to be working for us.

I liked the Ferber method and it worked well for us (for bed time) but I remember reading "some babies will cry until they vomit. Calmly clean up the mess and put your child back to bed..." and I don't know that I could do that.  I think another PP said this on the first page, too but what we did was when DS hit the number of minutes of crying, I would pick him up to calm him down, and then put him back down again. He would start crying again, but he didn't get quite so worked up. We did this for about 4-5 nights before he was going to sleep on his own.  Good Luck OP. I know the sleep deprivation is killer, especially when you feel like you have tried EVERYTHING. [/quote]
